Red, read, bead, bed, head, heed
Held, meld, weld, gelding in the green field.
Head down grazing
Grinding, never minding
With large yellowing teeth
In his mild gelding warm-coated way.
Where did you come from
Brown-coated gelding?
With a tame mane
And a tail flicking
The few morning flies.
Have you lived a long time
In my never-mind mind?
Is the green field of
The blades of grass
There. and the fence
I never noticed
And the mild, unused road
That runs next to the field
Hail gelding, hail field and fence and road
Hail blades of grass
In my mind
And out of my mind
Onto the page.
Isobel you will never cease to amaze me. Your creativity is a constant wonder to me.
